Had to do some errands in the morning therefore I wasn't able to do fasted cardio. I woke up early, but dilly dallied around until I realized I ran out of time... hahah. So I ran out the door with an egg salad sandwich. After errands, I went to the gym since it was right there! Workout : -I did squats and went up to 135 lbs and tried to do some sets. Then I dropped back down to 95 lbs and did 6 good sets of 5-7 while doing bodyweight jump squats in between. -Next I went to the abduction machine and did 3 sets -Finally I tried out hip thrusts using the leg extension machine . (I found the picture example on google). First time attempting this workout and I really like it! Definitely felt it in my glutes, and I will be continuing to add this to my booty growing regimen. I think ladies have the most creative workout moves and adaptations. LOL you don't really see guys doing these kind of workouts or using machines in a different manner than what they were intended for. Exce...

Thursday I believe I just ran around the neighborhood and wasn't very proactive with my working out. So I won't count this day. Day 14 Friday .  I spent most of the morning getting my eyes checked out and then immediately after I went to the gym for  Volume training  Squats! -warmup with the bar -add the 25 plates and do a set -make it 35 plates and do two sets -make it 45 plates and do as many reps. I take rests in between since I don't have anyone to spot me and every time I don't succeed in completing my squat I have to take the plates off and raise the bar again LOL.  -afterwards go back down to 25 plates and do volume training I also did some deadlifts, I couldn't resist. Then did Adbuctor machine before heading home. Oh but first, let me take a selfie I'm telling you  Squats > Deadlift  for booty growth. Trust me, I like big butts and I want one too. Day 15 Saturday .  Today I got to workout and teach my f...

Weekends are for indulgences , right? hehh because on Saturday I had carby Chinese food deliciousness for lunch, then late at night hung out with friends and ate a couple Trader Joe's lemon bars & wined on some pink moscato. and then on Sunday, I had Taiwanese breakfast for the first time! My friends ordered in Chinese but I believe we ordered: turnip cake, shredded pork rice roll, scallion pancake, shrimp omelette (it was pretty wet), pig in a steamed bun (pork belly was so soft), and to wash that all down, soymilk. Going on food adventures and having such a satisfying, delicious experience without spending much at all makes me Super happy  I knew once I got home after eating that satiating meal, I'd want to crawl onto my bed and watch Tv while relenting to the food coma.  So I dragged myself to the gym for Day 10   (Sunday) workout: -Did more SQUATS because my glutes were not hurting from Saturday's sesh. Did my damn volume training! -Leg Abd...

hehe, if you read my blog once in a while you know I have random food obsessions. This time it's: poached egg ! but more specifically MICROWAVED poached egg Gawd, poached egg is so awesome. That rich, creamy, runny yolk making love to everything it caresses. HAH here's some yolkporn  to remind you of how sexy poached eggs are (I have been too overeager to take pictures of my own yolky egg so I googled some hehe) Salmon eggs benedict Open faced poached egg sammich Oh holy moly, kiss me   poached egg burger fapfapfap. Oh but anyways, I did not know you can cook an egg in the microwave. The microwave at our house is kind of weak so I have to microwave for about 1:30 to 2 minutes, but I love this method of cooking perfect poached eggs. :) never have to wait for water to boil! On a fitness note, I have been avoiding squats for a few weeks mainly because I couldn't get over a plateau of 115 lbs and it is a little uninspiring.. But last week I ...

Oh man I gotta mentally prepare myself for LEG day. Wear the right clothes, fully charge phone for music, find some fitspiration and think about BOOTY #operationgrowabooty Also hope to catch Ryan Gosling at the gym Yesterday I went to a cafe and got one of their  Intelligentsia coffees . It was so strong (& delish!) I felt slightly buzzed. Needless to say it was perfect for LEG DAY and I went HARD at the gym. However I couldn't fall asleep til 6 am the next morning..  Ps, I don't usually drink coffee and tea (unless I water them down) and I most definitely restrict myself from drinking caffeine after 3pm simply because I actually stay awake. Why do people (Ahem bros) suck at re-racking. The only comfort I have to having to take off all the plates is that it's extra energy expenditure and I guess I'm still "lifting things and putting them down." Ryan Gosling fitspiration/motivation. Self-explanatory. Oo...

Yesterday I had a good workout but it ended on a "meh" kind of note. It was good cause I was wearing two sports bra and they were thoroughly soaked >:) Chest, Shoulders, Tris 3 x 15 DB shoulder press 15 DB lateral raises, superset 10 pushups. Do 3 sets 3 x 15 tricep extensions 3 x 15 cable crossovers Butt while waiting for the squat rack... cause some dude likes to look at his phone and sit on the actual bar whilst waiting in between, weird. 10 plie squats followed by however long you want to jumprope (with DBs) Do 4 sets Squats 4 x 10 increasing weights each time Deadlifts since I went up to 95 lbs last time, I decided to start with 95 today. Cake! did about 10 reps (eventually) and then added 5 more pounds (not much difference!) was going to make it 105 lbs BUT THEN while I was in my Dianasaur-mode, some dude came up to me and I asked me how many more sets I had left. I never ask anyone how many sets they have/or how much longer they're going to be o...

I'm very "high expectation" when I write down my workouts each time. Meaning, each workout is pretty dang intense. However when I workout by myself, I tend to give myself some leeway and you know, take out some reps here and there. Mebbe a set too... o:) BUT, when I'm working out with friends, I realized they're all amazingly very motivating and are really good at pushing both of us to complete the regimen that I wrote down; no leeway. Maybe... I should take out some workouts beforehand :D JK The workout that really made me sore this week TOTAL BODY WORKOUT : ARM -pushups 4x10 -up-downs 3x15 -dips 4x10 SHOULDERS -pike pushups 4x8 -bent reverse flye 4x12 BACK -pullups 4x8 -cable rows 4x8 BOOTY/LEGS -squats on smith machine 15 20 20 15 -glute kickbacks 3x15 -some squat jumps in between sets ABS/CARDIO -mountain climbers 3x30s -high knees 3x30s I got the inspiration from   http://www.fitbodyhq.com/workouts/beach-ready-body-workout/  and I added ...

I guess I shall address my goal of trying to grow a booty for my 100th post! My hips are quite narrow and although I believe my butt is perky, it just doesn't have a lot of mass to it. Therefore my body is kind of straight and actually closer to being an inverted triangle because I am also blessed with being slightly top-heavy... o:) Furthermore, I used to swim as a child and was on the swim team in high school so needless to say, my shoulders used to be very broad. I never thought I could naturally make a drastic change to my butt (like how people can't enlarge their chests without plastic surgery?..). I mean I knew you can make your butt perkier and have a nicer shape, but did not realize that you can make it buffer and in turn become bigger. So now I understand, squats can help you grow your booty and pushups can make your boobs perkier and also make them a little bigger. GOOD NEWS RIGHT? This picture best shows you that there are three muscles that compose our butt...

I can't believe how quickly time passes by. It's so weird because everyday that passes by, I'm doing generally routine regimens; I can understand how people who do the same boring old lifestyle can fall into the pattern and not realize how quickly life passed them by. It's a sobering thought.. Luckily it's the summer and my friends help me not drift away and get lost into my own la-la, introvert cave. I'm really grateful that my friends constantly try to catch up with me even if it's just over a little bit of food and slightly intoxicated conversations, or just making new memories and dancing the night away celebrating and enjoying our youths and friendships. I'm also glad that people think I'm entertaining and have new friends to eat lunch with everyday. I mean I honestly do not mind eating lunch by myself but socializing and hearing stories about other people's youths, goals, and families is nice. It's funny how you have one perception abo...

One of my best friends and I have decided to workout together every Wednesdays! So good because we keep each other accountable and learn new workout routines. I think I want us to switch off every other week to plan out the workout of the day :P But yesterday I planned the workout and she wanted to do arms and I wanted to do booty ARMS -Dips -Cable crossovers -Cable pressdown -on knees pushups LEGS -leg press -swiss machine kick backs -abduction on floor -jumping squats (vs she did wide stance, narrow stance, and sumo stance squats) I usually do weights that I can go as 'heavy' as I personally can and do 8 reps each. But with Anabelle, we sometimes did lighter weights and instead did more reps. It works! my arms are hurtingg Love how we're working out together! But then we went to yardhouse afterwards and enjoyed some happy hour goods. OOPS :) maybe next time we won't do that, except just enjoy a post-workout brew ;)

Just got asked if I wanted in n out.. can't refuse Saw a bag of chips on the table, had a few. handfuls.. Discovered 4 cartons of ice cream in freezer. Actually refrained myself! This is why I never buy junk food! Anywayss, I've been pretty busy and drained the past three weeks. Got to travel back to norcal to visit my awesomely cool friends for July 4 and time just passed by so quickly. Ate relatively healthy and did Insanity 85% of the days there. Then rushed back home via Amtrak with basically everyone and their moms and their families the Sunday after and found out I'm returning my car for another. And finally BAM waking up at 6 am every morning for school. It's been 1.5 weeks and I'm gradually warming up to my new 'family.' There are two girls that I seem to click the best with, but I most definitely have an easier time befriending guys. "WE NEED MOAR DUDES," as my guy friends would say. I got you guys, I'm recruiting. So my sche...

I think it's secretly hilarious when you see the interesting sweat marks when people work out. -like when your guy dance instructor for zumba wears gray sweats and you can see the sweat pool on his booty; just stick with black pants for sure -when someone is wearing a really tight sports bra and you can see where her back fat squeezes because of which areas are dry vs wet But I'm not hatinggg nor judging. I just think it's very interesting and I get amused by myself. Like this amuses me so I took a selfie of it :P Being sweaty at the gym is awesome! To me personally, it's a testament of how hard I push myself. The more sweaty I am, the more rewarded I feel! and I'm a crybabyy! Yesterday's Cardio & BOOTY workout 10 minutes stairmaster Medicine ball front lunge with bosu ball 15 x 3 each leg Side lunge squat on bosu ball Leg abduction Glute kickback Insanity

Oh this 1st pic isn't me (found it on tumblr). but this 2nd one is! I think it's a little bit of karma playing on me because the day before I snapchat a picture of someone else really sweaty: HEHE I'm so immature and inappropriate :) I mean of course I give major props to this man for working out extremely hard and with absolute dedication, but I couldn't help myself and refrain from not taking a picture :P Here's the workout I did yesterday 4 sets 12-15 reps (superset these three) side plank t-raise vertical db rows db shoulder press Cable flyes side bends with weights Interval cycling 30s to 1 minute turnovers in 20 minutes Funny thing, I didn't plan on doing cable flyes. I actually went to the cables and wanted to try a glute kickback workout.... but I tampered for a bit and it was just not going to happen because there's no wraparound strap to keep the cable steady on my ankle. I even slipped my feet and ankle th...

What motivates you to go workout? The past month of May was not a very successful one for me in regards to health and fitness >< (I basically pigged out a lot, and then seeing myself 'let go' and just not having the strength and will power to push myself to workout) and I am feeling the retribution of my gorging and inactiveness 0:) I will probably show a picture of the effects later after I work on my "after picture." Too embarrassed right now heh So I pledge myself to workout everyday this month, because I'm going to be a boss: butt, ass, glutes, workout, gym, exercise, cardio, weights, toned, june, goals, motivation, lose weight, fitness, fit,  Sunday, June 2 BUTT & LEGS Front lunge on bosu with dumbbells 3x12 each leg Bulgarian split squat 3x8 each leg dumbbell hip abduction 3x20 each leg hip thrusters with weights 3x20 donkey kicks 3x15 each leg fire hydrants 3x10 and then I cycled for an hour while reading magazines.... my mac...

That I updated most of the days with the workouts I did everyday.. I guess not! But 2.5 weeks of constant working out did my body good, except I totally, unjustifiably, gluttonously fed it with ice cream, beers, fast food, and sushi buffet this past week... I am going to be a hermit and just do me right now! I am selfish like that and absolutely love my own time to complete my personal goals, work by my own schedule, and read/watch/question my mind. Going back to that grow-a-booty and show-the-shy-abs routine. This picture was from last Thursday and I'm happy to say the squats are progressing =) Eating out basically everyday from the 17th to 23rd has really affected my body for the bad :P so the goal for the rest of May is to eat at home and to eat clean :)! Good thing I am no longer going to EDC and do not have to worry about having a 'raver' 'Plur' 'Edm' body which every girl apparently already has ready.. Gotta get that summer bikini bod though! ...
